FIX: Disabled Label On a Form Only Wraps One of Two Colors (299507)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 5.0
  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 5.0a
  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 6.0
This article was previously published under Q299507

SYMPTOMS

When you have a label on a form in Visual FoxPro (VFP) 5.0 or 6.0, and the label is disabled (Enabled = .F.) and its caption is wrapped (WordWrap = .T.), the label may appear to have extra words in its caption.

CAUSE

Only one of the two colors that make up the 3D disabled effect actually wraps.

STATUS

This problem was corrected in Visual FoxPro version 7.0 for Windows.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. In VFP 5.0 or 6.0, paste the following code in a new program.
    *!* Q299507 FIX: Disabled Label On a Form Only Wraps One of Two Colors
LOCAL loForm
loForm = CREATEOBJECT("frmLblDemo")
loForm.lblDemo.ENABLED = .F.
loForm.SHOW(1)

DEFINE CLASS frmLblDemo AS FORM
	ADD OBJECT lblDemo AS DemoLabel
ENDDEFINE

DEFINE CLASS DemoLabel AS LABEL
	CAPTION  = 'This is a demo'
	WORDWRAP = .T.
	HEIGHT   = 100
	WIDTH    = 82
	TOP      = 100
	LEFT     = 100
ENDDEFINE
  2. Save and run the code (the name is unimportant).
When this code is run, a new form appears. The form has one object, a label, which is disabled and has its WordWrap property set to .T.. Using the "Windows Standard" color scheme in Microsoft Windows, in VFP 5.0 and 6.0 the word "demo" appears twice in the label caption: once on the first line (in gray) and once on the second line (in white). However, the caption property of the label does not contain extra text.
